Bo'ness Hill Climb

Bo'ness Hill Climb is a hillclimbing course near Bo'ness, Scotland, sometimes referred to as Kinneil Hill Climb. Opening in 1934, it was Scotland's first purpose-built motor sport venue. In March 1947 Motor Sport reported: "Kinneil hill at Bo'ness will provide an 880-yard course, having been lengthened by 140 yds." The first round of the inaugural series of the British Hill Climb Championship was staged at Bo'ness on 17 May 1947.

On the evening of 29 June 1953, the BBC organised a special televised event with an 'England versus Scotland' format. Competitors ran in matched pairs with two points for a win and three where the class record was broken. The final score was England 26, Scotland 16. Ken Wharton broke the absolute hill record in 33.61 seconds, "but it was not felt that these could be accepted as 'official' times."

In 2007 a Revival Club was formed with a view of running speed hill climbing again at Bo'ness. In 2008 the first Revival meeting was run and it has been run each year since.
